Some people say the Composite chart is more important.
The composite is a snapshot, a quick look, at the relationship itself.
It cannot replace the synastry, but can only give an idea of how the synastry aspects work out when the two are together.
Because the composite consists of midpoints, it could happen that these midpoints are between two planets in square or two planets in trine, for example, which are quite different.
And it can also happen that several stressful aspects in the synastry come out as easy aspects in the composite. This just shows that the combination of aspects in the synastry can be worked out, but it does not mean that the relationship will be a smoother one.
It's a fine line that divides attraction and liking. Pluto is very compulsive, it's very hard to override.
If the synastry is poor, the composite cannot overcome that, since the composite is derived from the two natals.
But also,
if the guy is very sexually attracted to you, due to your Pluto to his Sun/Mars, then he may be totally entranced by you and willing to say anything, including that he likes you a lot, in order to be able to have sex with you. He may be so overpowered by Pluto to Sun/Mars that he can't even see or feel the negative aspects in synastry between you.
That is how hormones work, esp [but not exclusively or always] with guys.
Yes, in the synastry most of the energies are really not interacting well.
Remember when you do the chart to insert also the south moon's node. If you do you'll see in the composite that mars is exactly conjunct south node, that reflects the actual argumentative nature, and the sexual pull of the relationship.
In the composite Venus/jupiter with a sextile of mars is very positive, as is moon sextile sun/mercury.
The Neptune/saturn/uranus shows all the conflicting energies bundled together.

So this would only be good for a sexual relationship then?
Assuming times of birth are reliable
then
notice that the two MOONS ARE TRINE - that's good potential
The suns are in aversion aka disjunct - that's not good
HOWEVER
BOTH SUNS ARE RULED BY THE SAME RULER - MARS
and
THE ASCENDANTS ARE BOTH FIRE SIGNS and therefore trine - that's good potential
that's skimming the surface - check aspects and rulerships
of planets aspecting Sun/Moon/Ascendant rulers
I agree the Synastry has challenges. Perhaps you should think about how you feel when you are with this person and compare that to previous partners then compare the various charts to separate your personal wheat from the chaff.
That said, two together are more than the sum of their parts! Perfection is a chimera that too many waste good time chasing. The composite does indicate great sex (very tight sextile Venus/Jupiter conjunction to mars) among other great things. The neighbors will not appreciate the cries of ecstasy. As far as the South Node conjunct Mars some say a certain amount of tension is necessary.
Evaluate your own natal promise for what relationships can offer you in this life, then look at his and imagine what it feels like when you are together. If you haven't spent much time together, then spend more time together. Nothing makes astrology more meaningful than experiencing it!
Disclaimer: I'm a hopeless romantic for a good Composite!
The Virgo and I have been involved for 5 years. We have 4th house overlays hence the reason why he feels like family to me. He trusts me and I’ve been there for him financially. Regardless of my Saturn being on his Moon and Venus I care about him. I am aware of how Saturn can be cold but I think I’ve become better with not being that way towards him. He and I are friends though but he knows that I’ll be there for him even if it’s not physically. I have actually considered relocating to be closer to him but he’s a free spirit. I honestly don’t think I’ll ever be able to end things with him. I’ve talked to and been involved with other guys but I still can’t forget about him. I agree that sex isn’t as important as communication in regards to having a relationship.
Saturn is also responsibility, reliability, stability. It is the parent acting towards their offspring in a helpful teaching way.

THE TWO ASCENDANTS LEO AND SCORPIO ARE SQUARE thenTaurus is ruled by Venus and the other person is Ascendant in Scorpio.
